This was on another list and I thought I would pass it along to you. I don't know
anything other than that about it. Joanne Scobee Morgan
Patrick L. Hennessy of Jennings County Indiana was killed January 27, 1945, while serving
in the South Pacific in World War II.
He is officially listed as missing or buried at sea and his name appears on the
"Tablets of the Missing" at the Manila American Cemetery in the Philippines. We
are seeking information regarding his military and civilian life and especially locate any
family members still living so we can send them the free photograhs of his grave site and
the beautiful memorial in the Philippines.
I am a retired Hoosier from Madison County residing in the Philippines with my Filipino
wife. We are seeking family and military information about servicemen from your county
killed in the South Pacific during World War II. There are 17,206 Americans buried here
and thousands more that are missing or buried at sea and are honored on the "Tablets
of the Missing". Please visit our website to see the beautiful memorial located in
Manila, Philippines.

My wife and I visited the cemetery as visitors and left with a mission in our heart. We
have been taking photographs of the graves of the Indiana servicemen buried here and have
been uniting them (at no charge) with their family members in Indiana and across the
United States. To receive the photo of your family member, neighbor or friend all you need
is a working email address. We do not send them to regular mailing addresses due to the
costs. Please help us find the families of the men that might still be living. Our
project is only successful because of teamwork and your contributions are noted on our
website. If you wish to help us we will be pleased to add your name to our ACKNOWLEDGMENT
page on the website. The obituaries usually did not appear till to three months after the
death date.
If you are not a genealogist you can help by just picking up the telephone directory and
find someone with the same last name and give them a call. It has worked many times for
us.
